Sunday Stash Report, February 23, 2025

 

All the "B" blocks are complete.  There were 20 3/4 blocks and four 1/2 blocks completed since Wednesday.  Kirilowii is moving forward!  This 2024 UFO is well on its way to a finish.

These blocks will be for "A" blocks and the border.  There is one unit missing from the above photo.  It is the hour glass unit that is dark blue/red.  I have yet to cut the pieces to make it the full size project.  I will be getting to this tonight.

Nothing changes the stash count this week.

Wednesday Workings, February 19, 2025

The first block, 2B is complete.  I used two different sewing machines to construct the units.  That said, there was a lot of sliver trimming necessary.  Next up is the 3/4 block of 2 (not sure if this is A or C).  Requires more trimming of the 20 that are needed of this one.  I need to recut the partial square in a square of the 1/2 block of 2.  I sewed the "wings" on the wrong way (note to self pay attention to the instructions).

Not much else going on except Kirilowii these days.  I will be going to Rosie's for a sew day on Friday where I plan to get the trimming and cutting of more units accomplished.  My Pfaff is in with Paradise Sewing for a long overdo servicing.  It should be ready on Saturday for pickup.  Until then sewing on my Janome that sort of fits in my sewing cabinet.  It is not the best fit, but works.

I have been making a bit of headway on both my Grandma's applique project and the Children's Zoo stamped cross stitched projects.  The first block is an elephant and is just about done.

Until next time =^.^=

Getting the "B" Block together and cutting, cutting, cutting!  This project has lots of units.  First up is the B Block, 25 of them.  All the reds used in Kirilowii are one fabric.  There is a lot of variety in the neutrals.  I have a large neutral stash to pull from.  I have decided a 3 1/2 inch strip template for the Accuquilt would be a good investment.  Loads of strips to cut for Bonnie Hunter's designs (which you know by now I love).  

I started off with making more of the units in Part Two.

Part Five is the square in a square that came next.

Every evening I have been cutting enough to get from the half the size to the full size.  All of these are needed for B Block.

I have also tackled the dark blue/neutral HSTs.  Next up is sewing the B Block together.  I'll be back to cutting the dark blue/red hour glass units and the other red units the rest of this week.  Kirilowii is coming together =^.^=

Happy Birthday George Washington!
